Based on a true story, Jason Statham heads up a gang of
amateur criminals tasked with undertaking the robbery of a bank vault on behalf
of M15 in order to retrieve compromising photographs of a member of the Royal
Family. Any other proceeds from the robbery can be kept.
With only the end result in sight, the gang have no idea
what they’ve taken on until one of them is taken hostage and their families are
threatened by porn king Ian Vogel (David Suchet) whose ledger of backhanders to
police was among the goods stolen.
As the gang try and work out who they can trust, M15 face
their own scandal when they get more than they bargained for from the robbery
and concede that the only way for everyone to get what they want is to work
together while keeping the robbery out of the press.
The Bank Job was an
intriguing and gripping thriller which reminded me of Oceans Eleven.
A great movie which I wouldn’t hesitate to watch again.
One to watch.
